I've downloaded my 1st Custom Font from Cooltext.com & unzipped it, but how do I actually use it, including inside Paint.NET? I've never used a downloaded Font before.

Instead of downloading the font you could have used the web page to make you a png image of the text you wanted with a transparent background. one you have that image you basically take take the first image you want to put the text in and add a new layer. then open the text image file and copy it, past it in to the first image then adjust the size of the text image until you have it where you want it in the first image.

In my usage of Paint.NET, i've noticed that it seems to screw up it's 1st attempt to save my creations as PNG. After it's saved, I have to open it with the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer, then 'Copy to...' it to resave it as a PNG again, then this 2nd copy works normally. I notice in Paint.NET that in it's avaiable file formats to 'Save As...' it has a Paint.NET file format. (PDN) Should I be using it first, then resaving that as PNG afterwards? What's the difference between PNG & PDN?

Edit: Is there a way in Paint.NET to color the background & other stuff 'transparent'?

& I hope i'm not getting annoying. I'm a graphics program & file type novice.

You don't need to save it as Pnd first, but it nice to do to keep all your layers intact

If you want the background transparent just delete it so you have little gray and white squares as the background. However I notice the Picasa server has a problem with some transparent backgrounds.

To keep the background intact and make other parts transparent add a new layer to the background then add the other image to the new layer. in layer options you can adjust the transparency of the layer until it looks the way you want.

Many thanks again! :lol:

Edit: I made this for GIF Animation practice using the above Pic as a dummy test subject, & forgot to display it until now, as i'm in middle of Pic Link repairs:

Yup, Picasa can't munch PDN, it said it wasn't a valid file format, so i had to resave it as a PNG again.

I'm trying to make an animated userbar for a friend. Are there any Grunt sigs kicking around?

I'm so jealous of those that can make stuff like this completely from scratch, without program aid.

It's very complicated but possible. You need to make it a gif. and you also need an add on to gimp.

Ahh, many thanks! So, PNG doesn't handle all. What's the Pic quality difference between PNG & GIF?

I take it that I would remake this in Paint.NET, then load it up in Gimp 2, then add the Fire Font to the Sig Bar there, with the help of that add-on?

Edit: Is this the correct add-on for my objective?

I found a Web Page that lists Color Values for multiple Colors. It'll be handy for the Sig Bar making.

I used a screeny of a close of my renegade shepard, did some smudging with gimp to make the effect. Some others for the letters.

Giving a semi-transparent color Sig Bar a test-drive.

Edit: Woohoo! It works! :D

This quote is of my making, but anyone who wants to can put it to use, free. I don't even care if ya steal it, for you can't get any rogue cred from stealing free stuff, you'll just drag yourself down & make yourself look like a rouge. What's a 'rouge' ya ask? Click the clicky for info. :bandit:

I like it! :D

I'm still trying to figure out Paint.NET, then I still got Gimp 2 to learn.

A reminder, you can Post your Sig Bars into Replies on this Thread so this Thread holds a copy of your Sig Bar so ya can change your Sig, & if ya ever wanna return the Sig Bar to duty, ya gotta easy retrieval point for the Sig Bar to make returning it to your Sig easy. :)

Yes, but being able to make Sig Bars in Graphics Programs is handy too! :)
